Tokyo's most affectionate

"Do you know piano? Master Zero Hour's performance this time can be said to be the best interpretation of The Bells in the 21st century so far."

"I still can't get your approval, who are you? You have such a big face."

However, he was heard talking to himself by the people nearby, and they immediately attacked him.

"You've never played the piano, you just like listening to it. Don't act like you know a lot about it."

Friends who knew him inside and out couldn't stand hearing these words.

Chapter 201 Adeline by the Water

"Perfect, so perfect, Mr. Lingshi, your piano skills are simply amazing."

"Zero Hour, you are now worthy of the title of Master."

"It's different from the original. This is your version."

The judges in the judging panel couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Mr. Lingshi, I am actually Croatian. I wonder if you can come back and play another song? I really want to listen to your Croatian Rhapsody."

The blond and blue-eyed foreign pianist spoke through the microphone.

The reason why he tried his best to promote Zero Hour was because he was Croatian, but he was unable to create such a piece of music.

Perhaps this piano piece is not as difficult to play as many other piano pieces, but the idea behind it deeply moved him.

"May I?"

Hearing this request, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the host on the side of the stage.

"can."

The host received instructions from backstage through the earphone monitor and nodded immediately.

"Can I play one more song?"

After getting this consent, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked again.

"It's 8:12 now. You can express yourself freely until 8:50. We will reserve minutes at the end to announce the final rankings of this competition."

The host heard the instructions from backstage and responded.

Unlike before, this time her attitude changed and became one of great respect.

Anyone who knows piano will know how terrifying the level of Master Zero Hour is after watching the performance just now.

The game is scheduled to end at 9pm at the latest.

It is no exaggeration to say that the performance by Zero Hour Master has achieved its purpose of promoting the popularity of the competition and even exceeded expectations.

"it is good."

After getting this consent, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt relieved.

"May I ask what piece you would like to play?"

The host realized that he was still willing to perform, and walked onto the stage with some excitement and asked.

“The first song in the encore is Croatian Rhapsody. Fans came from far away just to see this song performed live... There is another song, which is also my original song.”

Kurosawa Hikaru waited for her to come up to him, then faced the audience and spoke into the microphone.

Through Liszt's "The Bells", after tonight, no one should dare to attack his fans.

After demonstrating his absolute strength, he no longer needs to play difficult pieces and can play whatever pieces he wants at will.

"Master Zero Time is too fond of his fans."

“There are also new original piano pieces, which makes it worth the price of admission.”

"The piece Liszt's 'The Bells' just now was worth the price of the ticket. It was even a big win. You don't know much about piano, so you don't know how exaggerated this piece is."

Shizuka Kitajima was very moved and explained after hearing what others said.

To put it bluntly, after tonight, Zero Hour will truly be known as the No. 1 pianist in Neon.

From tomorrow on, no one will be able to question the level of Zero Hour.

"Next, please enjoy the original music presented to us by Master Zero Hour."

The host also revealed his true colors and stopped pretending, calling the master directly.

Then, Kurosawa Hikaru walked back to the piano and sat down.

As he took his seat, the whole place fell silent again.

This time, there was no more doubt in everyone's eyes, only expectation.

"Boom!"

Kurosawa Hikaru's right hand fell, and the sound of the piano in the high pitch area rang out.

If we say that Liszt's "The Bells" is a piece that gradually and cyclically bursts out with its due charm.

As a modern piano piece, the biggest feature of "Croatian Rhapsody" is that it is catchy and its charm bursts out the moment the performance begins.

The moment the piano sounds, people will be attracted by it.

Regardless of the technique, its passionate, high-pitched yet steady melody, even though it is a pure piano version and not accompanied by various instruments like the original, is destined to be an auditory feast given Kurosawa Mitsuru's superb level.

Different from the classical and heavy colors of "The Clock", after everyone in the audience realized the charm of Zero Hour, people looked at him again and felt completely different.

At this moment, he looked very relaxed, and had a sense of freedom, not bound by the world.

That evil and unique appearance, that elegant and confident posture, sitting in front of the piano, tapping the keys like flowing water, is a real enjoyment for people.

Soon, the song ended, and the gift to the fans, the performance of Croatian Rhapsody ended.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Alas!"

"So handsome."

“I have no regrets in my life.”

When the song ended, the fans were very excited.

To prove his ability, he played Liszt's "The Bells".

To thank fans for their support, he played "Croatian Rhapsody"

Next, it’s for yourself.

Kurosawa Hikaru stood up, waved to the audience to express his gratitude, then picked up the microphone to introduce the next song.

"The last piece is called 'Adeline by the Water'. It's a romantic piano piece."

His voice was low and he was wearing a mask so his eyes could not be seen. He just faced the audience and looked at Ninomiya Chizuru.

However, when Chizuru Ninomiya, who was sitting in the first row, heard the title of the song, she could feel Kurosawa Hikaru staring at her.

"Did he compose a piano piece for that day, for me?"

Ninomiya Chizuru's beautiful eyes behind her frameless glasses trembled slightly, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably with surprise, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness surged into her heart.

This feeling can be said to be flattered. Faced with such a big surprise, even the most expressionless person cannot contain his joy.

The name was so special that it was hard for her not to understand that Kurosawa Hikaru composed the piano piece for her.

This is indeed the case. When Kurosawa Hikaru saw the scene with Mizui Yiren that day, he had an extremely eager urge in his heart to present this piano piece to Miss Ninomiya.

“What a romantic name.”

Hearing this name, Miki Baiyu was a little surprised.

Normally, most people might not know the meaning of this piece of music, but as a student at the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo, she knows something about Greek mythology.

The name Adeline comes from a story in Greek mythology.

She is the King of Cyprus, a sculpture of a beautiful maiden.

The king stared at her every day, infatuatedly, and eventually fell in love with the statue of the girl.

Because his love was so sincere, it moved the gods. The goddess of love Venus used her divine power to transform the statue into a real beauty and marry him.

The moral of this myth is a story about going from being unable to get the love one desires to finally gaining true love.

At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru sat down at the piano again, and with the movement of his fingers, he played "Adeelina at the Water's Edge".

Different from the previous two songs, this is a romantic piano piece.

As a modern piano piece, it also has another characteristic, which is that it is catchy.

The moment the piano sounds, the delicate, soft and steady melody will pull your heartstrings into it.

"What a nice view……"

In just a moment, Chizuru Ninomiya's heart sank, and the memories of that day in the Atera Valley were brought back to her.

Everyone's favorite music is different because of their personal experience.

When a piece of music can arouse emotional resonance in the audience, no matter how difficult it is to sing or how easy it is to play, it will become one of the audience's favorite music.

"Wow~"

Yuki Ichinose was also intoxicated by the beautiful and melodious piano music.

She doesn't know how to play the piano or musical notes, but she likes listening to songs, singing, and good music.

That's right, as she listened, a picture was drawn in her mind.

It is a clear, winding, dreamy and beautiful river.

Beside the water waves, a woman stood there.

The woman had a beautiful face and an elegant posture. She should be wearing a long silk skirt that was dragging on the grass.

In the soft morning light, her existence glows with beautiful and dreamy colors.

Her skin should be as melting as water, her eyes should be bright, and her face should be delicate and beautiful, intoxicating.

Outside this picture, a man is looking at her infatuatedly, fascinated by her.

"Brother Guang..." This scene touched her and reminded her of her experience in the shoe store that day, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

That day, when she put on her high heels, Brother Guang was sitting on a chair looking at her. He was deeply attracted and amazed by her figure. His affectionate and loving eyes made her unforgettable for life.

She noticed this at the time and felt sweet and happy about it.

Now this piano piece brings back memories of that day, and she likes it very much.

"..."

On the other side, Miki Baiyu listened to the melody that was sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes gentle, and sometimes sad. He felt the twists and turns of the myth and was deeply attracted to it.

The image of the goddess by the water also appeared before her eyes.

Besides that, the piece was like a fish hook, bringing up memories she had deliberately forgotten.

It was in a camera store. She entered under the guidance of the clerk, but when she turned a corner, she suddenly heard the sound of a SLR camera shooting and subconsciously turned around to see the scene.

In a shop window with cameras on both sides, on a street corner, a man stood with a camera and secretly took a photo of her.

Following her attention, the man put down the camera and stood up.

He was wearing a clean and tidy white shirt, his short black hair was neatly combed, and his black eyes were as bright as stars in the long night. He was very handsome, and his temperament was elegant and gentle.

It was clearly a sudden candid photo shoot, but after seeing the appearance of the photographer, she did not feel the slightest bit disgusted, but instead developed some interest.

Because his eyes were very clear and affectionate, as if he was deeply attracted by her appearance.

The man was attracted by her appearance. She had obviously seen it many times before...but for some reason, that time left an extremely deep impression on her.

"Pity."

Recalling this scene, Miki Baiyu couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

If Senior Kurosawa didn't have a girlfriend, if she could have met Senior Kurosawa earlier... maybe it would have been better.

"Adeline at the Water's Edge" is a song that lasts more than 2 minutes. It is not very long, but not very short either. It tells a love story that is full of twists and turns, detours in the process of moving forward, and makes people feel bumpy.

This story, interpreted from another perspective, is about a man's desire and eagerness for his dream lover.
